No, he wasn't really referring to himself, although the anti-trinity crowd may put their own usual spin on it to make it so. The Bible makes it very clear that in the beginning was three in heaven that are one, the Father, the son and the holy ghost. The son is the word, which was God in essence...

They weren't worshipping the beast because of the mark. The mark doesn't even come into the picture until verse 16. The world was already worshipping the beast way back in verse 3 & 4. Verse 12 is specifically about the second beast who caused the world to worship him even more so by means of...

But they were Jews right? That's what I mean by them being believers. Its not like he went around preaching the gospel to a bunch of pagans and atheist's. That was a task Jesus reserved later specifically for Paul only.

HA!!!! Leviticus laying the smack down on the anti-lawdites (as I call them) yet again. :D

At what point in Isaiah 26 does it ever say anything about nephilim or even reference the Genesis 6 event? For the mark to cause you to lose your salvation, I believe it would have to change everything that makes you who and what you are. I could talk at length about how this could be done...

Moses and Elijah

Of course there are, but like I said, it doesn't say that faith was of no concern in any of them. Even unbelievers sins can be forgiven If I am to believe "ByGraces" nephew. Can an unbelievers sins be forgiven? Does the chicken or egg come first?

To answer your question, no, he never would be ok with us doing whatever we wanted. There are some that may claim he would, since they believe that his death and resurrection abolished the law, or made it of no effect. What you were taught was what I call hyper graceism, that you can still be a...

So the scripture he used states that the man with palsy, which is what that particular verse was about, didn't have to have faith to be healed when he clearly did have faith? Does it even imply that this is so when taking the scripture in its entirety?

Well, I wonder why you are so concerned about heaven and what heaven is like when God expressly states that he will bring his kingdom to us on earth? I'm pretty sure there will still be plenty of people swearing somewhere out there in the world during his millennial reign in old Jerusalem. I...

No.......I guess I should have just used another word like 'miraculously' or something instead of magically. Her nephew claims that healing doesn't require ones faith, and uses a verse to back up his statement that in fact shows quite the contrary................:confused:.............well, how...

Well its not like he could just ask the child if he believed anyway, since the demon within him was having too much fun rolling him around on the ground and foaming at the mouth, acting like a lunatic. The faith of his father was enough for Jesus, but the faith had to come from someone somewhere...

Well, does it have to say they had faith? What about the times when he specifically asked them if they believe before he exercised the demon? Are all things possible to him that does not believe too? Would Jesus have healed him had he said he didn't believe? Did Peter fall in the water because...

Is there a difference between having faith and the actual remission of sins? Don't demons believe in God too? Will demons be forgiven? According to the entire Scripture in context he cited from, this was in response to the pharisees who called his act of forgiveness on the part of the man with...

"superficial".................:rolleyes:.................m'kay.........whatever.

I know most of them will pay lip service to how good God's been when living the life of riley, but not really living the life God wants them to live...........you know............for his glory, and for his sake............:rolleyes:.................. And yes, my church has had plenty of...

Well, like I said, its easy to believe in an all powerful God that will take care of your burdens when life's going well for you, but having faith when you get hit hard by trials and trubulations is another thing entirely. It goes back to the question of suffering and why God allows it. Satan...

No, I just don't believe faith is as simple as its made out to be.

Yep, Christianity has become a joke to the world at large. I can blame it on Satan, but really, much of the blame can be put solely on the bafoons within the faith itself. When it says Jesus fulfilled the law, it means you are saved from the coming judgement of it for those who repents. Its got...

Yeah, scripture plainly states multiple times that the law has not been abolished but established and written in the heart of the believer as the prophet Jeremiah also plainly stated would come..........but somehow, there is no evidence..................:rolleyes:..........oh boy.
